What is...................................
A famous American astrologer and spiritual teacher, Isabel M. Hickey, wrote of Astrology as follows:
"Truly it is a spiritual science. It involves the relationship between the larger universe outside you and the personal universe within. The same energies that function in your personal universe function in the larter one 'out there'. The blueprint we call the horoscope, or the birthchart, plots the energies that flow in your magnetic field. At the moment of birth you took into your body, with the first breath, the vibrations manifested on that day and time at that particular spot on earth. This basic pattern goes with you throughout life.
The birthchart shows our potentials and tendencies....It is not because you were born at a certain place or time that you react to influences, but the influences of that moment and that place in space show your potentials that can be actualized in the future. Fate is earmarked in tendencies, not in facts. All anyone can see in a birthchart are tendencies that will become facts if one does not do something to alter them....
The horoscope is a blueprint of our character. Character IS destiny. There is nothing static in this universe in which we dwell. We can change by changing our attitudes and patterns of behaviour. In so doing, we change our destiny. Yes, the blueprint or birthchart shows your character and your personality pattern - your human nature, but you are spirit too. The stars impel but do not compel. An understanding of planetary influences allows you to take your life into your own hands and intelligently utilize the planetary influences that will help you in your evolution if you but will.
Astrology deals with symbols. The signs of the zodiac are symbols of great and potent forces. The physical planets are but the outer forms through which soul energies manifest. It is these energies that affect us, not the physical planets. When you meet a person you are not affected by his physical body. Yet you respond to his character and personality to your benefit or detriment. So it is with planetary energies.
Let us consider your horoscope to be a roadmap. It shows the conditions you are going to meet in life. Some of the roads on which you will travel will be smooth and easy if you have built them well in a past that your personality does not remember. Some of the roads will be in poor condition and need repair. If you repair them and put them into good condition your vehicle will not break down and cause you difficulties and delays.
Always the idea of rebirth raises the questions: "If I have lived before why do I not remember and know?" Your personality is new but not the soul. The soul is the unit of evolution. The personality is the unit of incarnation. When you become conscious of who you truly are - a soul using a personality through which to function - you will remember."
From the Preface to 'Astrology,
A Cosmic Science'

Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy that has its roots in Oriental medical massage practices that are over 5000 years old. The word shiatsu literally means "finger pressure". It is a natural, manual therapy that enriches the lives of all who encounter it. Shiatsu is not merely a method of applying physical pressure to the body, but involves the total communication of therapist and patient through the use of skillful hand touch and compassion.
In a shiatsu treatment, comfortable pressure is applied to all parts of the body with thumbs, palms, and elbows, and the body is gently stretched to loosen joints and muscles. Shiatsu treatments promote good health by strengthening the body and stimulating its self-healing abilities. Common conditions that shiatsu treatments have been used to help are back, neck and shoulder aches and pains, headaches, insomnia, digestive problems, and emotional stress. People also use shiatsu to try to relieve minor health problems before they become chronic.
In Japan, shiatsu therapists follow a three-year course of study and write government licensing exams in order to practice. Shiatsu was brought to Canada in 1971 and therapists are not yet licensed. Simple shiatsu can be learned by anyone and used as a "home remedy" to help family and friends. Or you can pursue the study to become an expert therapist.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient healing art. It means "Universal Life Force Energy". The Reiki therapist works with the energy allowing it to flow into areas of the body that are in need. When Reiki is applied it brings about deep relaxation and a sense of well-being
Reiki heals pain on the physical and emotional level. It also heals patterns that lead to pain, sometimes without us knowing it or being able to put it into words.
Reiki heals the body and emotions, bringing them into balance and promoting health, happiness, prosperity and long life. It is one of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself.
Reiki is compatible with other healing modalities such as traditional medicine, chiropractic, massage therapy, holistic medicine, psychotherapy, etc.
There is no greater gift one can offer than the energy of Unconditional Love - Reiki.

What is Acupressure?
Acupressure is a way of accessing and releasing blocked or congested energy centers in the body. These energy centers or Acupoints lie on energy pathways called Meridians. When acupoints or meridians become blocked or congested you experience pain or discomfort on a physical level. On an emotional level you may become frustrated or irritable, and on a spirit (energetic) level you may experience a sense of feeling ungrounded, vulnerable, and have difficulty knowing your purpose in life.
By using deep but gentle finger pressure on specific acupoints blocked energy releases, allowing your body/mind to relax. As your body/mind relaxes, you have an opportunity to explore thought patterns, memories, and belief systems. Through mindful exploration, the way you experience your universe can change, allowing you an opportunity to manifest your purpose in life with less discomfort and stress; with a greater sense of wellbeing.
What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflexes in the body which correspond to and are relative to other parts, glands and organs of the complete body substance of man. Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress, placing the body in a parasympathetic healing state, enabling the disharmonies to be released by a physiological change in the body. With stress removed and circulation improved, the body is allowed to return to a state of homeostasis. Reflexes are worked according to body disharmonies. Stress removal is first priority; followed by improved circulation and then attention paid to reflexes relative to body needs. Common sense dictates when less pressure is required. Duration of treatments are usually 30 to 50 minutes.
What is Iridology?
Iridology is a diagnostic tool which uses the iris of the eye to determine genetic health and disease. When you look closely at your iris you will see a pattern in the delicate fibres that make up the colored part of the eye. This pattern is unique to you, rather like your fingerprint, and remains the same throughout your life-time.
For diagnostic purposes, the iris is mapped into zones, like a clock-face, representing all the organs, glands and functions of the body. By determining exactly where a particular marking lies, an iridologist will know of a potential health problem.
For example; if you have a lacuna (an iris marking) at 30 minutes, this would indicate that your kidneys are not functioning properly, if you had a defect (an iris marking) at 15 minutes, this would indicate that you have inherited some kind of heart problem.
Iridology is non-invasive, painless and safe. It holds a record of your inherited constitution and your potential for health and disease. By finding our your potential weak areas, iridology is able to help you nip disease in the bud, even long before any symptoms or disease have become established.
What are Flower Essences?
Flower essences are liquid, potentized plant preparations which convey a distinct imprint, or etheric pattern of a specific flower. These completely natural products, free of toxic pollution, are imbued with the living forces of Nature. The essences enjoy a reputation of being highly effective and very safe to use. They are not part of conventional biochemical medicine, for they contain only minute traces of physical substance. Flower essences belong to a pioneering new field of potentized remedies which derive their beneficial powers from the inherent life forces within substances. These remarkable remedies expand our understanding of health care, recognizing a relationship between body and soul, and the interweaving of spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical aspects of wellness. They address the subtle but very important realm of the human psyche, where thoughts and feelings emanate. Just as food nourishes the human body, so can the flowers nourish the human soul, enhancing emotional and psychological well-being.
What is Light and Sound Healing?
Light and Sound Healing allows an individual to get in touch with his or her essence.
It helps the person achieve the inner peace necessary to unify the fragments of their life by uniting the individual with the light and sound of God.
This technique tansmutes consciousness through the clearing of blockages and restores vibratory harmony throughout the lower bodies, while sharing awakened soul level energy.
The tuning forks correspond to the bells used by the Lamas in the Monasteries of Tibet for the same healing purpose.
Chakra energy balancing aligns the body's energy centers to their optimum vibrational rates.
This healing process is a combination of sonics and hands on and around the body.
The use of tuning forks (the seven whole notes that correspond with the Chakras) on the seven major Chakras and energy circuits in and around the body, plus hand positions for energy channeling, embellishes the life current and strengthens the Aura.
